Water trampoline

Abstract

A water trampoline includes a tumbling unit, a plurality of floating members, and a rope assembly. The tumbling unit includes a bed frame, a tumbling mat, and a plurality of elastic members connecting the tumbling mat to the bed frame. The floating members are connected to and are mounted independently around the bed frame. The rope assembly interconnects the floating members. A ladder is attached to one of the floating members. An anchor unit is connected to another one of the floating members and is spaced apart from the ladder at an angular distance.

1. A water trampoline comprising:
 a tumbling unit including a bed frame, a tumbling mat, and a plurality of elastic members connecting said tumbling mat to said bed frame; 
 a plurality of floating members connected to and mounted independently around said bed frame; 
 a rope assembly interconnecting said floating members; 
 a ladder attached to one of said floating members; and 
 an anchor unit that is connected to another one of said floating members and that is spaced apart from said ladder at an angular distance of 180°. 
 
   
   
     2. The water trampoline as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising two positioning units connected to said ladder and mounted on said one of said floating members for suspending said ladder from said one of said floating members. 
   
   
     3. The water trampoline as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of said floating members is ball-shaped. 
   
   
     4. The water trampoline as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said bed frame is annular and is composed of first and second curved rods, and a connector for pivotally interconnecting said first and second curved rods so that said first and second curved rods are foldable over each other. 
   
   
     5. The water trampoline as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein each of said first and second curved rods has a plurality of rod sections that are interconnected detachably. 
   
   
     6. The water trampoline as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said connector has a U-shaped pivot plate straddling and fixed to one end of one of said first and second curved rods, a fixed pin, and a removable pin, one end of the other one of said first and second curved rods extending into said pivot plate, said fixed and removable pins extending in parallel through said pivot plate and one end of the other one of said first and second curved rods, said removable pin being removable from said pivot plate and said other one of said first and second curved rods to permit folding of said first and second curved rods over each other. 
   
   
     7. A water trampoline comprising:
 a tumbling unit including a bed frame, a tumbling mat, and a plurality of elastic members connecting said tumbling mat to said bed frame; 
 a plurality of floating members connected to and mounted independently around said bed frame; and 
 a rope assembly interconnecting said floating members. 
 wherein each of said floating members is connected detachably to said bed frame, and has an upper ear member connected to said bed frame, and a lower ear member opposite to said upper ear member. 
 
   
   
     8. The water trampoline as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said rope assembly includes a ring member below said bed frame, a one-piece rope member threading through said lower ear members of said floating members and surrounding said ring member, and a plurality of guide ropes connected to and extending outwardly from said ring member to connect respectively with said lower ear members of said floating members.
